Table values are as you shown:
MyTable
FieldA FieldB FieldC
1 2 3
1 2 <null>
1 <null> 2
2 3 4
2 <null> <null>
<null> 2 3

Hi SET,
I have already tried but still not getting the result. Last column displays
Null value in middle of some rows.
With Best Regards.

This type of question is often best asked with an example. Let's say you have
these data:
MyTable
FieldA FieldB FieldC
1 2 3
1 2 <null>
1 <null> 2
2 3 4
2 <null> <null>
<null> 2 3
To get the result in the order it has above, I would use
ORDER BY FieldA NULLS LAST, FieldB NULLS LAST, FieldC NULLS LAST
If you for some strange reason want THIS order (the columns with the largest
number of nulls should be last):
FieldA FieldB FieldC
1 2 3
2 3 4
1 2 <null>
1 <null> 2
<null> 2 3
2 <null> <null>
then you need your CASE construct to be something like:
ORDER BY IIF(FieldA IS NULL, 2, 0)+IIF(FieldB IS NULL, 3, 0)+IIF(FieldC IS
NULL, 4, 0), FieldA, FieldB, FieldC
If there are four fields to order by, you have to use minimum 3, 4, 5 and 6
rather than 2, 3 and 4.
